Treatment of fibromyalgia in Germany

Fibromyalgia means muscle pain of a non-inflammatory nature that lasts for 3 months or more. This syndrome is a second or third reason by frequency in the list of causes for visiting the rheumatologist in the developed countries. Its prevalence among population varies from 4 to 8%. Pain can be so severe that it often requires the intake of narcotic pain medications.

Fibromyalgia – Diagnostics

Fibromyalgia is diagnosed when there is pain in the muscles, but there are no other signs of the possible pathology that could provoke this symptom. Thus, almost all the laboratory and instrumental tests are aimed at the exclusion of different diseases, which are able to cause muscle pain.

Introduction of botulinum toxin into painful points relaxes the muscles and promotes relief of the pain for several months.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Duration of the course is 2 months (5 90-minutes sessions per week). It allows to reduce pain and need for painkillers.

Laser therapy. Laser influence on the painful points gives not only a short-term, but also a long-term analgesic effect. It stimulates microcirculation and improves the filling of tissues with oxygen. It stops the pain impulses.
